📢 This was stated by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas before the start of the “Weimar+” foreign ministers’ meeting in Madrid.

🇺🇦 “We have many topics to discuss today. The first, of course, is Ukraine: what more we can do to help Ukraine and the peace process, and what Europe’s contribution could be. Three weeks ago, Ukraine agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, and three weeks later, we see that russia is playing its games and does not want peace. So the question is how we can increase pressure on russia,” she said.

🕊️ Kallas recalled the U.S. “shuttle diplomacy” and emphasized the need to force the kremlin to show goodwill – for example, by returning deported Ukrainian children or releasing prisoners of war.

🇺🇸 “The U.S. also has a role to play in increasing pressure on russia and forcing it to stop this war,” she added.

🛡️ Another key topic of the meeting will be strengthening European defense. Kallas stressed that all available tools for developing Europe’s defense and industrial capabilities will be used.

💪 The key factor in strengthening the EU remains the unity of member states, which enables an effective response to all threats.
